TEXAS BRiGANOAGE.
A Lone Star Mans Account. of the
Border Ousrages.

A special dispatch to the Globe Demo-
crat says: Not since the DAYS Of the
Cortana raid, wears and years ago, has
the Texan side of the lower Rio Grande
existed under such a reign of terror as
now. Brigandage reigns supreme.
Business is paralyzed, and United States
mails get through when they
can. Ranchmen stay close at
home, and labor in the fields
even is accompanied by unusual
hazards and in no man S house is light
TO be seen after dark. County officials
have telegraped the state government
for aid. Governor Ross himself does
not know what to do. Sheriffs and
United States marshals are powerless
and the bandits are once more, in fact,
as they were once in song and in story,

rated at $20,OO0, and who has shops

' San Francisco Argonant: Recently at
certain college examination certain
professor determined that he would
make it impossible for any copying to
take place under his supervision. Ac-
cordingly he kept a sharp watch upon

,"Wel," said Xenobia, 81 reckon you
all know Ned Falkner and the Excelsior
Ditch?" a.r -
"Yes, Falkner's the superintendent of
it." said Rawlins. "And q square man
too. Thar amt anything mean about
him." a., ..
SHAKE" said Zenobia, extending her
hand. Rawlins shook the prOffered hand
with eager spOntaneOusness, and the girl
resumed: Hes abOut ez good ez they
make 'em-yOu bet. Well, you know Ned
has put all his money, and all his strength,
and all his sabe, aud"- .. H
"His good looks" added Clinch, mis-
~ehievOusly.
'Iuto that ditch" continued Zenobia,
ignoring the interruption. TITS his
mother, it's his sweetheart, it's his every
thing, When other chaps of his age was
cayortin' round Frisco, and havin' high
links, Ned was in his ditch. Wait till
the ditch is done he used to say. wait
till she begins to boom, and then yOu just
, stand round MOrc'n that, he got all the
bows TO put in their last eent-for they
loved Ned, and love him now, like ez ef
he wos'a woman"
"'Fhat's so" said Clinch and Rawlins
simultaneously, land he's worth it,"
well" continued Xenobia, ''the ditch
didn't boom ez soon ez they kalkilated.
And then the boys kept gettin' poorer and
poorer, and Ned he kept gittin' poorer and
poorer in everything but his hOpefulneSs
and grit. Then he looks around for more
capital. And about this time that coyote
Harkins smelt suthin' nice up there, and
he gifts Ned to give him control of it and
he'll lend him his name and fix up a COM
pany. Soon ez he gets control, the first
thing he does is to say that il wants $780,
600 o. money 10 make it pay and levies an
assessment OF 500 share. That's nothin'
for them rich fellows to pay, or pretend to
pay, but for boys on grub wages it meant
only ruin. They wouldn't pay, and had
to forfeit their shares for next to nothing.
And Ned made one more desperate attempt
to save them and himself by borrowing
money on his shares; when that hound
Harkins got wind Of il, and let it be buz-
zed around that the ditch is n failure, and
that he was gold out of it; that brought
the shares down to nothing. As Ned
couldn't raise a dollar the new company
swo0ped down on his shares for debts they
had put up, and left him and the boys to
help themselves. Ned couldn't bear to

he was surprised to find that his expiana-

however, and continued:

A light sense of the ~propinquity OF
beanty, of her confidence, oftheir isolation,
OF the eloquence of her dark eyes, at first
tempted Hale to n reply Of simple gal
lantry; n graver consideration of the same
circumstance froze it upon his lips.

In his embarrassment Hale Numbered

In the belief that this was q delicate hint

Hale rose, but the girl passed him ,hur-

Hale did not reply. In his embarrass-

equally sudden departure had flashed upon
him. Should he take this n n justifica-
ton of that impulse, or how? He stood
irresolutely gazing at the girl. who turned
and began to descend the stairs silently.

certify that ] am satisfied that the above
statement is q base calumny against the
characters of RingwoOd Clinch, Robert
Rawlins and John Hale, passengers, and
that | do hereby apologize to the same,
Sign it. That'll do. Now let the rest Of
your party sign as witnesses"
They complied without hesitation; some,
Selling the opportunity of treating the AZ
fair us a joke, suggested u drink.
Excuse me-" said Clinch quietly, but
ez this house amt big eaough for me and
that man, and ez I've got business at Wild
Cat Station with this paper, | think I'll
90 without drinkin'." He took the keys
from his pocket, unlocked the doors, and
taking up his overcoat and rife turned rs
if to go.
Rawlins rose to follow him; Hale alone
hesitated. The rapid occurrences of the
last half hour gave him no time for reflec-
ton. But he was by no means satisfied OF
the legality of the last act he had aided
and abetted, although he admitted its rude
Justice, and felt he would have done so
again. A fear Of this, and an instinct that
he might be led into further complications
if he continued to identify himself with
Clineh and .Rawlins; the fact that they had
profeSsedly abandoned their quest, and
that it was really supplanted by the pres
ence Of an authorized party whom they
had already come in conflict with-all this
urged him to remain behind. On the other
hand, the apparent desertiOn Of his COM
rades at the last moment was opposed both
to his sense of honor and the liking he had
taken to them. But he reflected that he
had already shown his active ~partisanship,
that he could be Of little service to them
ut Wild Cat Station, and would be only
increasing the distance from his home; and
above all, an impatient longing for indie
pendent action finally decided him. 81
think | will stay here" he said to Clinch,
unless you want me"
Clinch cast a swift and meaning glance
at the enemy, but looked approval. Keep
YOU eyes skinned, and you're good for a
dozen Of EN-" he said, soto voice, ana
then turned to Stanner. "T'm going to
take this paper to Wild Cat. If you want
to communicate with me hereafter you
know where I am to be found, unless''-
he smiled grimly-"yOud like to see me
outside a few minutes before / go?"
1T is a mrtter that concerns the stage
company, not me-" said Stanner, with an
attempt to appear at his ease.
Hale accompanied Ciinch and Rawlins
through the kitchen to the stables. The
%ostler, Dick, had already returned to the
rescue of the snow bound coach.

face the boys that he'd helped to ruin and
put out, and amt been heard from since.
After Harkins had got rid of Ned and the
boys he manages to pay off that wonderful
debt, and sells out for 500, 900. That
mOney-Ned's mOney-he sends to Sacra-
mento, for he don't dare to travel with it
himself, and is kalkilatin' to leave the
kintry, for some of the boys allow to kill
him on sight. So ef you're wantin' to
hunt suthin', thar's yer chance, and you
needn't 90 inter the snow to do it."
"But surely the law can recover this
money!" said Hale Indignantly. at is
as infamous a robbery as''- He stopped
as he caught Zenobia's eye. -.
"Ez last nights, you were going to Say.
I'll call il more. Them road agents don't
pretend to be your friend-but take yer
money and run their risks. For ez to the
law, that can't help yer"
"It's a skin game, and you might ez
well expect to recover q gambling debt
from a short card sharp explained Clinch;
"Falkner oughter shot him on sight"
"Or the boys lynched hin" suggested
Rawlins.
81 think" said Hale, more refectively,
that in the absence Of legal remedy aman
of that kind should have been forced In
der strong physical menace to give up his
ill-gotten gains, The money was the pri-
mary object, and if that could be got with
out bloodshed-which seems to me a use
less crime-it would be quite as effective.
OF course, if there wa resistance or re-
taliatiOn, it might be necessary to kill
him., ..
He had uneonsciously fallen into his old
didactic and dogmatic habits of speech,
and perhaps, under the spur of Zenobia's
eyes, he had given it some natural empha-
sis. A dead silence followed, in which the
Others regarded him with amused and
gratiied surprise, and it was broken only
by Zenobia rising and holding out her
hand. Shake"

lips on the one spotless finger. ..r..
